The global value market for Artificial HIS is the largest, forecast to
be US$1.7 billion (71.7% share) in 2017, which is expected to maintain a
2017-2022 CAGR of 3.5% and reach a projected US$2 billion by 2022.

During the same period, global value demand for Natural HIS is slated to
register a considerably faster CAGR of 7.8% and reach a projected
US$958.8 million by 2022 from a forecast US$657.7 million in 2017.

High intensity sweeteners (HIS) analyzed in this global market report is
segmented by HIS category - Artificial HIS and Natural HIS. Artificial
HIS analyzed in the study include Acesulfame-K, Aspartame, Cyclamate,
Neotame, Saccharin and Sucralose. Natural HIS analyzed in the study
include Steviol Glycosides (stevia extracts), Glycyrrhizin (licorice
root extracts) and Mogroside V (monk fruit extracts). The study also
explores the key end-use applications of high intensity sweeteners
including Beverages, Confectionary, Foods, Tabletop and Others (personal
care, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals etc.).

Though artificial sweeteners occupy major share of the pie in high
intensity sweeteners market currently, natural high intensity sweeteners
are expected to register the fastest growth. Growing health concerns
associated with the artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and
saccharin are driving consumers' interest in natural sweeteners. Steviol
glycosides mainly drive the growth in the natural high intensity
sweeteners space followed by monk fruit extract mogroside V in the near
future. The growth of high intensity sweeteners in developed countries
in North America and Western Europe has slowed down owing mainly to
decline in soft drink consumption. But high growth in emerging regions
such as Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa is expected to continue.
